Yes, the Soviets aimed to establish a communist government in Afghanistan during the Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989). They intervened militarily to support the Afghan communist government, which faced significant resistance from various insurgent groups, collectively known as the Mujahideen. The Soviets sought to maintain a friendly regime in Afghanistan to secure their influence in the region and counter Western presence. Ultimately, the war resulted in significant losses and contributed to the Soviet Union's eventual decline.
